Died June 9th, George Hasten, aged 19 years six months 16 days.  George was a quiet, inoffensive, and industrious boy.  He was looked upon by his little brothers and sisters as a strong support in time of need.  He first began ailing in February and come home from his work "to rest"
He grew worse for a time and then become better, yet he gradually began to decline, until he "fell asleep."  At times he suffered excruciating misery, yet never a word of complaint ever escaped his lips.  When we think how patiently he bore his sufferings, and how considerate he was as regards others feelings, we feel sure a rich reward awaited his coming.  Funeral services were held at the church on Wednesday, at 2 o'clock conducted by Rev. Bruce.  Many and beautiful were the floral offerings contributed by his lady schoolmates.

The family and relatives desire to return their heartfelt thanks to all the friends who so kindly remembred their dear departed one, during his long illness and death; and to his schoolmates for the beautiful floral gifts.

George was the son of Andrew Hasten and Lydia Dunham.

Calculating from the age provided in this obituary, George was born November 24, 1871, give or take a day or so.
